Former Warrior Signs To Play Soccer With Northeast

Former Neligh-Oakdale Warrior and current Columbus Lakeview standout Ryanne Lueders made a big decision about her athletic career this week.

Lueders signed her letter of intent Thursday to play soccer in college at Northeast in Norfolk.

For Lueders, Thursday was a long time coming, as it was something she has dreamed about since she was little.

“It’s very exciting, I just love that we have the whole school here to support us. My family is here as well and it’s great having the extra support to pump me up for the season,” said Lueders.

Not only is Lueders a great athlete, but a scholar in the classroom as well. She is excited to begin taking collegiate classes.

“I’m going into pre-chiropractic, so I’ll go to Northeast. Then I plan on finishing at Wayne and  then either attend Palmer College or Northwestern Health Sciences University.”

​For Northeast Coach Chad Miller, he knows that Lueders is the type of player that you can build a team around.

“She’s going to bring so much to our team. She’s such a leader and has so much versatility, she can play in so many different positions and do so many different things. Right off the bat she’s gonna create so much for us that we can do so many different things with,” said Miller.

No matter what, Thursday was a special day for the Lueders family. She will look to continue to be both a standout scholar, and athlete.
